My Favorite Bullet


When I was a kid growing up on the Central Coast of New South Wales I really loved the television show Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

My favourite character was Dumb Donald, that guy could tell a story about reptiles and his dad.

The poem "Moadeep and Paul meet on Allara Street or I wish I owned a Mateba Model 6 Unica" published by My Favorite Bullet in Volume XI Issue One has nothing to do with that television show or my love of it or have any relationship with Dumb Donald.

BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! @ The Phoenix, 730PM Wednesday 15 February



As the boggle-eyed girl from season 4 of Whale Wars looks on still not saying anything we create BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! in February.

MARVEL AT THE SCREEN TIME WITHOUT WORDS!

And bring yourself with your words to
BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
because
we give you a stage a microphone an audience five judges
the Score Adder two MCs and
the Master of Conflict
all within easy reach of alcohol so that we can hear your words.

The spectacle
The words
Be speech-eyed
Be boggle-less
In the face of words

And then cheer, heckle or get back to your conversations
about that television/walk/awesome tie
show with the people in it.

YES
Words
BE AT BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
BOGGLE!

And this month we bring you direct from distant flooded banks
From the place that curses ‘cause they took our guns
From the land that according to Wikipedia
only has one famous person, Codie Simpson, whoever he is

We bring you the Broken Records Collective
CHEER!
For those who don’t know The Broken Records Collective

THEY TELL MYTHS TO BUS DRIVERS
AND MAKE US ALL LATE FOR WORK.
And have been doing this since 2010.
And they are a SPOKEN WORD COLLECTIVE.
And they have featured at the Woodford Folk Festival, at the Laura Street Festival in Uncle Bill’s Backyard, appeared at the Queensland Poetry Festival 2010, and are regular hosts and performers at Words or Whatever.
They will put a sling shot to the head of poetry
For you

BOGGLE
BUTYRIC ACID

And be at BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! with your words, your hands, your arms and legs, your voices, your original material to join Jacinta, The Master of Conflict, The Score Adder, Andrew Galan
